23. ๏Solomon dies—Rehoboam (his
son) acts foolishly and the
Kingdom is divided into Israel and
Judah (Judea)

24. Jerusalem
Samaria

25. ๏Rehoboam leads the southern
part, Judah (2 tribes with
Benjamin)
๏Jeroboam leads the northern
part, Israel (10 tribes)

26. ๏39 Kings of the divided Kingdom
—most of whom are bad
๏A long line of prophets warn of
God’s coming judgement if they
continue in sin.

31. JONAH

32. ๏From Zebulun in Israel.
๏2 Kings 14:25.
๏Prophesied in the first half of the
eighth century BC.
๏Preached to Nineveh.

33. ๏Assyrians—cruel, warlike people,
enemies of Israel.
๏Assyrian artwork emphasizes war,
includes scenes of execution,
impalement, flaying the skin off
prisoners, and beheadings.

34. No wonder Jonah is
reluctant to go!

38. JEREMIAH

39. ๏The longest Prophetic Book in the

๏Didn't marry or have children—
judgment was coming.
๏Ministry as a prophet from 626-
586 BC.

40. ๏Contemporary of Habakkuk,
possibly Obadiah.
๏Lots of details about his life
๏From approx. 640 to 580 BC.
๏Used “word of the Lord” 157
times (349 times total in the OT)

41. ๏The prophetic word satisfied him,
15:16, “When I discovered your
words, I devoured them. They are
my joy and my heart’s delight”

42. ๏But was sometimes a burden—
23:29, Does not my word burn like
fire?…Is it not like a mighty hammer
that smashes a rock to pieces?
๏It was tiring to bring God’s
message of judgment.

43. ๏The prophets are ignored (on the
whole)
๏Israel goes into Assyrian captivity
in 722BC
๏Judah is taken captive by
Babylon in 587/86BC

49. ๏The names of the land allocations
do not match the names of the
twelve sons of Jacob. Why?
๏The land includes two parts given
to Joseph in the name of his sons
Ephraim and Manasseh.

50. ๏ Levi, the priests, were spread
throughout the other tribes.
๏ So no land allotments Joseph and
Levi
๏ Instead given to Ephraim and
Manasseh.
